OPI Hey Baby Swatch and Review

OPI Hey Baby is part of the new collaboration between OPI and Gwen Stefani. The line consists of seven different shades of 5 different formulas. Hey Baby is one of two Creme Gloss formulations. These can be found through Ulta, Sally Beauty, Amazon, and other similar retailers.

Ease of Application

Hey Baby went on super easy and was neither gloopey nor clumpy. With it being a new formulation I expected some kind of drawback when applying but this was not case. Also, it was opaque in only one coat.

Score: 10 out of 10

Color

I found the color of this to be just a generic pink shade. If you have any other bright pink shades then you probably have a shade very similar to this and could probably skip picking this one up.

Score: 8 out of 10

Feel

I don’t know what I was expecting a creme gloss to feel like so I didn’t enter the review of this with any expectations. This feels exactly like your nails do after the application of top coat over your regular nail polish. It also has the same glossy look that a top coat does as well.

Score: 10 out of 10

Lasting Power

I painted my nails several days ago and they are still without chips, I think that OPI’s overall just have a longer lasting power than most polishes.

Score: 10 out of 10

It’s a pretty color but like you said kind of a generic pink. I don’t think it’s one that would be like yeah I need to spend OPI cost of nail polish on a plain jane pink. I don’t think I have a crème finish but I like that you said it feels like you already have a top coat on. I’m thinking I need to go hunt me down a color. Like I need anymore nail polish in my life. Ha!

I’ve definitely started to become a nail polish snob. I can’t stand the cheap stuff that lasts a few hours. Do you use a top coat with your OPI polishes? Mine still tends to chip after a day or two. I’m often doing touch-ups during the week.
